TYPE-GALLEY.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 336,377, dated February16, 1886.

(No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, WILLIAM F. BELLRooo, a citizen of the United States,residing at Madison, in the county of Lake and Territory of Dakota, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in TypeGalleys; and I dodeclare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of theinvention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same, reference being bad to theaccompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of referencemarked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My-invention has for its object certain in1- provements in type-galleys,by the use of which a proof of any matter may be taken in much less timethan is now required.

Italso has for its object to simplify the method of locking up the type.

It consists in the construction, combination, and arrangements of theseveral parts, as will be hereinafter fully described, and specificallypointed out in the claim.

In the drawings hereto annexed, Figure l is a plan view of a galleyprovided with my improvements. Fig. 2 is a cross-section on the line ax, and Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section on the line 3 1 Fig. 1. Fig. 4is a detail View of the locking-loop. Fig. 5 is a detail view of thewasher, and Fig. 6 is a detail view of the key.

A is the galley, of the usual size and form. The end piece, A, of thegalley is slotted, as shown at A for the insertion of the loop in theend of the side-stick. The side-stick B is provided on its under sideatits outer end with a fiat metallic hook, O, which fits around theouter edge of the galley-base, as shown in Fig. 3. The other or innerend of the sidestick is provided with a locking-loop, D, which issecured in the end of the side-stick, as shown. This locking-loop iscomposed of a single strip of sheet metal bent upon itself, as shown.The two ends of thestrips are placed face to face; but the middleportion is left open, so as to form the eye or loop proper, as shown. Awasher, E, is placed over the loop up the type.

D, and the key bears against it in the operation of the device. The keyFis placed through the loop D, and is constructed as shown. It iscomposed of a wedge-shaped strip having a hook, F, at one end and bentupward and doubled at the other end to form a handle, F, as shown.

The operation of my device is simple, and will be readily understoodfrom the foregoing description and upon reference to the drawings. \Vhenit is desired to take a proof of any matter that has been set up, thesidestiek is moved close to the type and key F pushed through the loopD, thereby locking The type is locked, it will be seen,by the key, onaccount ofits wedge shape, pulling the side-stick toward the closed endofthe galley, and the hook being thereby made to bind against the baseof the galley and prevent the motion of the side-stick. The handle F" onthe key presents a flat bearing-surface for the fingers in looking up.has been taken and it is desired to unlock the device, it is onlynecessary to loosen the key, when the side stick can at once be movedfrom the type. The hook F prevents the key dropping out of the loop andbeing lost, as will be understood.

The advantages of my device are obvious. By its use furniture, quoins,the, now necessary in looking up are dispensed with and the time lost inasserting them is saved.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secureby Letters Patout, is-

In a printers galley, the combination, with the galley having a slottedend piece, of the side-stick having a hook to engage the galley bottomat its open end and provided at its other end with a locking-loop, andthe keyinserted through the loop, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
